BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, 16/02/2014Close menu

Sheila McClennon selects highlights from the previous seven days of BBC Radio.

This week a guide to musical manipulation from Midge Ure as he explains how technology has changed music from Chopin to Stevie Wonder.

David Attenborough is still amused by a melting banjo, a tipsy folk singer and the perils of live television fifty years ago whilst his Natural History Unit colleagues explain how to make a goat last a week. Not something to bother brilliant food writer Damien Trench back with more recipes this week - he's sticking to a selection of mini quiches..

And why a listener wrote "Don't Look Away Pick of the Week this is important!" About a documentary about something we take for granted - toilets but the lack of which kills fourteen hundred children under five every day.
